Sherdi: The Sleeping Sands

Chapter I, Part IX

Journal of Ghost

We’re finally done clearing out the monastery of all the dragon-born. Haven’t received an assignment since I eliminated the eladrin the other guys helped out not too long ago. Those guys put up a decent fight, but I used to the cover of night to take them down one at a time.

I’m sure the entire experience of being back at the monastery wasn’t so great for Cerulean. He’s mentioned to me more than a few times that he didn’t want to come back here, so I’m sure he’s happy we’re done.

Ornsulina got a new pet dragon from the looks of it. I’m sure it makes up for losing her pseudo-dragon to Razzi. Looks like we’re setting up some kind of carriage to ride with the dragon. Not too fond of flying, but I know we’ve got to get to Targa as soon as possible.

We picked up some new guy named Bortuge. Something’s fishy about him. He’s been talking to that nut Eco. All I could do was laugh. It was even funnier when he tried to get some information out of Cerulean. He fed the new guy so much bull and he swallowed it all. I’m sure my laughing gave it away.

Bortuge better not talk to me. I don’t trust him. He’s got something up his sleeve, and Master Serpent made sure to drill into my head not to trust anyone. Our order has to remain hidden from mainstream society.

Looks like everyone’s getting ready to take off. I’ll see if I get any assignments while I’m in Targa.

Journal of Bortuge

I was hoping to have lifted some of the goods from the monestary before the eminent destruction came. The head-master was an easy one to dupe, I slipped in as a substitute teacher for a couple of weeks, scoping out the joint before these dragonborn ruined my heist. Luckily though, I seemed to have run into an outfit that seems to know what they are doing, having come from a few grand adventures they seem well equipped… they may not be a bad group to tag along with, who knows what goodies they may stumble across.

Razzi is a quiet one, I’m still trying to figure him out. Most of these wizardly types are quite scholastic, but he seems interested in blasting. There’s also something odd about the Ghost fellow. He seems rather vindictive & destructive, yet there’s a hidden bent behind his motives. Why Eco runs with him is beyond me. Ans speaking of Eco… wow, is he ever duped into all this god stuff. Hardcore religious types scare me, they tend to get into more trouble than the shady characters. But at least he is plain as day, nothing to figure out with Eco… what you see is what you get.

Ornsulina is amazingly powerful when it comes to nature and beasts. She has more than proven her worth in my eyes. She’s remained rather quiet too, I still have yet to see her motives.

What brings this group together? What motivates them? Doesn’t matter really, so long as the shiny things come my way.

Speaking of, I let all the magicks slide their way. Earn their trust first… selectively siphon off what I can when the time is right. Eh, if they fail to trust Bortuge, I have an infinite number of other faces they can take in. Hmmm, speaking of, I wonder where the nearest bank is…
